"How can you love without pain?" she asked.
"Love, my dear, is not about ownership, but appreciation.
The secret of love may be found in this rose.
To love the rose
is not to possess it or to pluck it
but to savour its beauty
and witness its magnificence
and in the process,
to be made more beautiful.
This is how you may love even when the one you love is not near you, even when the one you love is no longer with you and even when the one you love knows not of you. Because love is not found outside of you, but is found within you, for it is a way of seeing and engaging with the world.
To love
is to be inspired
and to be transformed for the better.
And so there is no pain in loving, because to love is not to lose anything, but to gain everything."
